We had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful home during the week of the Miss Mississippi pageant. The house is truly remarkable with breathtaking views from the many large windows found throughout, and my favorite view, from the rocking chair of the front porch overlooking downtown to the Mississippi River. We felt like we went back in time from the moment we walked in. One could spend a full day just admiring the antiques and decor of the home. The attention to detail by the owner & house managers left us not wanting to leave and already planning our return. From fresh flower arrangements throughout the home to returning daily to neatly made beds made our busy week more enjoyable. The kitchen had everything, including the largest cast iron skillet, perfect for cooking for our big bunch. You can't beat the location, with the closest restaurant just a short walk down the driveway and across the street. Many other restaurants, boutiques, and museums are just a short walk away. Tropical storm Cindy tried to rain on our parade, literally, and in more ways than one, but thankfully the home also had umbrellas. When it wasn't raining, the pool was a perfect place for us moms to relax while the girls practiced and the first place they went to when they returned. The owner and house managers were only a phone call away to answer any questions. You can't beat their hospitality! We fell in love with everything about this home and our Magnolia Princesses referred to it as their castle.
